So, my "expedited" packages have been sitting at a post office for the last three days according to internet tracking with an expected delivery date of yesterday. I've heard customs halting packages, is it possible the post office did that too? Doubtful I'd think... I'm just trying to figure out reasons my juice could be stuck. Although its probably just a mishap with Canada Post...

Don't worry LOL I bet my package is sitting right beside yours, I have the same thing on tracking.

I just hope they are to stupid to update their tracking systems rather than being to stupid to deliver.

Canada Post Stories:
When a package comes that I can't sign for, they send it to a Post Office that is a good 15 min drive for me. With stupid hours of 9-5 and it being in the opposite dirrection to work, its next to impossible for me to pickup packages. Closer to my house is the city, 5 min drive. I asked them before if they could route my packages to the post office that is actually close to me. Answer: No... .......

Purolator Stories:
(owned by Canada Post)
Literally 50% of the time they can't find my house. On the tracking "adress doesn't exisit". I had a package shipped from the same place, both by them, 2 weeks in a row. 1st package made it no problem. The next week they couldn't find my house. My house is even on google maps, on a main highway and its been there for years.

Even better, they held the package at their depot. Not the one thats 10 km from my house, but one that was 150 km away!!

Im curious who/where your order is coming from. When I order from heaven-gifts.com (aka ruyandirect.com) EMS gives canada post relatively detailed info (en route to canada, arrivial, customs review/release, etc). But the cheepo shipping gives me very limited info. The only info canadapost relays when it arrives @canadian customs, then nothing till the day of delivery. So while its moving from vancover customs to my mailmans hands, it looks like customs is sitting on it for a week.

You could have a similar problem with the original shipper...just a thought.

The problem is in both directions and not just e-cig related.

I live in Hawaii. Since TrustFire batteries take around four days to get to me from Hong Kong, I thought nothing of ordering some 0 nic. juices from Toronto. Coincidentally I 'won' an e-bay auction for a CD Rom, also out of Ontario. The two packs were shipped on the 18th and 19th. Still waiting 8 days later while reading strange messages like:

Heya guys,

Yeah... I ordered from HappyVapor in Ontario, and Expidited took 5 days to arrive. It was dropped off Monday morning at 9 AM, and arrived on Friday at 11 AM. Is that 4 days or 5? In any case, the website still said it was in Ontario until it bounced at my house and was returned to the Post Office (I guess I didn't hear the doorbell...).

It's new eJuice Day! I woke up to an email that said my order had gotten to me so I ran downstairs to check the mail only to be staring at an empty box. I check the Canada Post tracking and it says that it was delivered at 11:59 on October 5th. It is currently 10:30, so I'm calling Shenanigans on this.
if it was a package that required signature, maybe the delivery guy gave up knocking/ringing ur door & left, it might be sitting at ur local post office, or a post office thats nowhere near ur location hehe...
